I am Curb Co

Ive tasted many of the sweets that be scrapping , From the street to legitimate scrapper services .
While legitimate feels good as you are respectable to the average person .
The call of the curb , the dumpster always beckons .
The reality is prices are down & construction is down (by me).
I still find my Vacs , TV's & some (and plenty ) good hit's
but many of my best spots have dried up .

It's a sad cometary as I look for scrap and one to a bunch of Bottle's / Can's is sitting there exceeding the value of a small metal find - I used to marvel at .
My job in particular can earn $150 to $200 in Returns , I still find scrap but current pricing does not deliver the abundance equal to Thousands of Cans & Bottles wile it is challenging to organize them - I do with the same push as scrap.
In comparison I picked up an oven from a contact - with a value of $3.50 I'm not complaining
but a shift in technique is happening for me . Scrapping plus Bottle's / Can's has put me back close to what I remember was peak .

Short steel still packs some punch, even if less then what Mix was .I am diligent to prepare as short. I am one with the Curb & I dare say I am about the only one out . Even the Tv's and Vacs still have cords that tells you some thing .

yep can hunting is just as important and regular scrap if you live in a state with a deposit even so with out its still alu so why pass it up. I live in a college town so there is plenty to go around but of course we all try to get there first lol game days can easily net $1000plus if you work the whole day and night.
those glimmering in the street lights or mirrors in the daylight they call to you like a good steak to you belly and at the end of it all you both are satisfied lol
also couches and chair crack surfing I call it to dig for change and other gooey things it adds up fast.

hunting with a MIT full of Cards or flyers....

I sure wish Florida would institute a deposit on cans and bottles. Yesterday, I came across what must be a kids' party area and filled two extra large trash bags with beer cans.

Not scrapping as much here, but still shopping...and finding some nice stuff lately now that the metal prices are down and the competition isn't there.
